Warning Signs of Sleep Apnea & Health Risks

Sleep apnea causes a person to stop breathing for a short period of time, resulting in frequent interruptions to your rest. While this disorder is a serious condition, it usually occurs without an individual even being aware of it.

How to Detect Sleep Apnea

There are multiple signs of this sleep disorder. Loud snoring at night when asleep and feeling drowsy or groggy when waking up are indications of sleep apnea. Patients may also experience dry mouth and frequent morning headaches. Many sufferers also notice an increase in irritability throughout the day due to a poor quality of sleep.

Sleep apnea contributes to several serious health issues:

Heart Disease
Obesity

Research shows that those who have sleep apnea are three times more likely to suffer a stroke compared to those without the sleep disorder.
